NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Coach Rick Barnes doesn't believe Vanderbilt is going winless in the SEC.
Barnes said Monday during the SEC coaches teleconference that he's not backing down from his statement after the Vols rallied to beat the Commodores in overtime 88-83 at Memorial Gym on Jan. 23.
"I said back when we played them there, I think they're going to beat somebody," Barnes said. "And I still believe that."
Vanderbilt (9-20, 0-16 SEC) is running out of chances to prove Barnes correct.
The Commodores finish the regular season this week by playing the University of Arkansas (15-14, 6-10) at 7:30 tonight in Memorial Gym, and going on the road to face No.
